socksrme: More Snow!!!!

http://socksrme.blogspot.com/2009/03/more-snow.html

Socks made on Antique Sock Knitting Machines. Wednesday, 4 March 2009. Woke up this morning to more snow. It was raining very hard when I went to bed, so didn't expect snow. Thought Katie would try and stay off college but no she has caught the bus at 7.30am this morning. She has her work assessment today. Good luck Katie. I am aiming to start knitting one sock a day (one sock ,not one pair) from today. I want stock for the summer when it arrives. 5 March 2009 at 18:26. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

socksrme: Have socks will travel

http://socksrme.blogspot.com/2013/02/have-socks-will-travel.html

Socks made on Antique Sock Knitting Machines. Sunday, 24 February 2013. Have socks will travel. Well one week after last post I have made a pair of socks for my nephew Martin who is off to sea with the Merchant Navy. I think he is going to cold places and not the Tropics! These were made in 4ply Trekking on my A.K.M.C machine. Please post some more details about what kind of sock your are talking about and how it works?

socksrme: Another distraction!

http://socksrme.blogspot.com/2009/06/another-distraction.html

Socks made on Antique Sock Knitting Machines. Monday, 1 June 2009. Another distraction from ALL types of knitting. 2 chicks have hatched. We started with 6 eggs and 2 hens decided to share them, so in the process only 2 hatched and one 'mum' is looking after both. SO a new house had to be found for her, which meant clearing a place in the shed. Not an easy task. Now its setting up a run to protect all from magpies and Pip the dog! What about these craft fairs that are approaching fast?

Socks made on Antique Sock Knitting Machines. Tuesday, 4 January 2011. Another year has begun .so more New Year's Resolutions! I have really let myself in it this time I have announced on the Vintage Krankers Sock Knitting Machine Group that I will knit one sock A DAY! No I hadn't been drinking but I am mad. We have reached day 4 and I have completed 3 socks to date, so today's sock will match day 3's, a pink sock in our latest yarn. By the time it is completed I will be too old to knit!

socksrme: How time flies!

http://socksrme.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-time-flys.html

Socks made on Antique Sock Knitting Machines. Monday, 13 July 2009. I cannot believe we are in the middle of July already! In the last month the chicks have got nearly all of their feathers. As hoped they are Speckled Sussex. One a cockerel and the other a hen. I have named them appropriately Hastings and Lewis. Brighton and Hove were the alternative names. The garden is looking a bit better and the million plants I ordered have been spread around and looking good. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

socksrme: A Very Old Griswold Machine

http://socksrme.blogspot.com/2009/05/very-old-griswold-machine.html

Socks made on Antique Sock Knitting Machines. Wednesday, 27 May 2009. A Very Old Griswold Machine. Have been busy knitting on 'flat beds', but now back to Sock Machines. My latest aquisition is a very old Griswold Stocking Knitter. I have done a bit of research and it dates from around 1880 and it STILL WORKS. It is all very oily and gungey at the moment and needs a lot of tlc. I shall post another picture when I have restored this 'oldie' and have a sock hanging from it. 13 November 2011 at 10:42.

It was a marvellous show and very well organised. We had a stand selling my knitwear, our very own hand dyed sock yarn, socks and of course we demonstrated the sock machines. (Our dyeing experiences are another story for later). I think we were the ' Morcombe. 40 miles going on their detour route. Simple temp...
